Was there no reason to it, and do you think Germany had won with him playing? He is known for never winning a final. Still he is less unfinished than Effenberg, as Ballack at least tries to win finals, which is what it is all about, while Effenberg chose to stay at home. Regards! Ralf Bönt

Maybe if Ballack had played in the final and lost you could say this.
And no Mueller!!! Blokhin isn’t anything compared to him.

If you really think Zickler was gifted like no other player Germany has ever produced and Effenberg was the second-best player in German history, you should not be allowed to write an article about soccer in any newspaper….

Oh, one more thing. Get some information why Deisler really quit. Here’s the link:

Isn’t Zickler the guy who scored a long range goal for Dortmund in an European game, on his FIRST touch of the ball after coming from the bench, somewhere around 1996, 97 ?

the famous wembley goal was the 3rd for england. did you know that during the 4th english goal there were a couple of fans running on the pitch so that german players stopped playing?

however, everybody felt that complaints are not in place
only 20 years after the war, infact it was good for international relations that england won….
